Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Centre for Comedy Studies Research (CCSR) Beyond a Joke: Comedy, Identity and Offence Seminar Series continues at the Leicester Comedy Festival 2017.
Say What You Like: Comedy, Religion and Offence*
Sunday 19th February 2017 12.30pm-2.00pm
Peter Pizzeria (Violin Room), 9 Welford
Place, Leicester LE1 6ZH
What are the roles of comedy in shaping discussions about religion? What are the relationships between comedy, religion and free speech? How far is too far for religious comedy? These questions, and more, will be hotly debated by a panel of comedians, public
figures and academics. This is one lively debate not to be missed! Come
along and have your say!
Speakers include: Michael Cotter, Anshuman Mondal and David Monteith
